Android Question How to open the default drawer by code

[EduardoElias]

I am using this:
Activity.AddMenuItem("Login", "login")
I have removed the default StdActionBar for a Panel, since the Action bar is lacking in functions
However the drawer menu is important, I replaced it using a button and want to open the menu
How?

If you are using a button then does it work with button_Click ?

Button_click works fine

However I want that the Drawer Menu that I created using:
Activity.AddMenuItem("Login", "login")

Show Up

How?

Are you using B4XPages?
Why not use B4XDrawer?

[B4X] B4XPages + B4XDrawer

B4XDrawer v1.53 adds support for B4J. This is a good opportunity to create a B4XPages example using B4XDrawer. It does require some configuration so pay attention. The example is based on the three pages example...

I am not using B4XPages, this project is older and very big.

I was using the StdActionBar, I removed it in order to use a simple panel and that I can draw more controls on it...

Can I use the B4XDrawer on it?

Otherwise how can I force to open the standard drawer menu?

It’s easier with B4XDrawer.

is it possible to open the drawer in the right side, using the library that comes with the b4a already?

just FYI, Activity.OpenMenu will open your menu. when you click on your button, call it. in my case, it opens from the bottom of the screen (which may not be what you want), but it does open. there might be a setting you can access to get it to move itself to the upper right, but i was satisfied as is.

Not with the library, but with this modified class:

B4XDrawer with right panel

Hi, in the sample you find a modified version of B4XDrawer library. I added a right panel. I only tested it on B4A (it won't work in B4i without modifications).
